has to offer. The King Island cheese can be
sampled—rather generously, too—at the King
Island cheese factory that is only a short drive
from Currie. There you can taste the soft white,
washed rind, blue vein, cheddar and black label
ranges, buy them on-site and take them home or
find a picnic spot to eat immediately. A personal
favourite of mine was the Discovery Ash Blue,
whose strong smoky overtones make it quite a
unique taste—and it is one of the rare selections
that you won’t find on too many supermarket
stands.
The grittiness of the Ash Blue is on the
other end of the scale to something like the
Furneaux Double Cream, which is soft-centred
and delightfully smooth. Whatever your taste,
the cheese is a natural entrée to the King
Island beef. With the high demand of Coles and
Woolworths for the beef, it is harder and harder
to find on the island, but the locals can certainly
point you in the right direction.
One insider tip is the Old Admiral Benbow,
a boutique restaurant that is actually run
from the King Island Golf and Bowls club
from Wednesday to Saturday—a dinner-only
option that is open at ‘seasonal’ hours. While
much of the charm of King Island’s fare lies
in its seclusion, the Old Admiral Benbow adds
something different.
Max Martinez, originally from San Francisco,
USA, has moved to the island with his partner
Heidi and their two young children. Martinez
uses fresh produce off the island to create
dishes like Spanish-style octopus, steaks with
blue cheese sauce and wild scallops, smoked
eel and fish and it is a go-to spot for the locals.
All this plays out with the sweeping King
Island shoreline for scenery. Bookings here are
essential.
There are worse places to wash ashore than
King Island, which is emerging as a contender
to Tasmania as the best golfing destination in
the Bass Strait. And that’s the truth.
Both Vortex Air and Air Adventure fly regularly
to King Island, Tasmania. Prices start from $330
per person. Visit: www.vortexair.com.au and
